We are just two months into the 2023-24 season and have already seen our fair share of giant killings. Manchester City fell to a 2-1 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend while Real Madrid succumbed to a 3-1 defeat at Atletico Madrid, yielding their 100% start to the season. Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan, and Inter Milan — the four other teams that had a perfect record until the second week of September — have also lost their streak.

Currently, no team across the top five European leagues have a 100% win record. In fact, there are only a handful of teams that have not yet tasted defeat in the league. Continue reading to meet the eight teams that are yet to lose all three points in a league game this season:

Borussia Dortmund, who painfully finished second in the Bundesliga race last season, have had a decent start to the 2023-24 season.

Dortmund have not yet played against a top-four team so far. Their biggest test in the Bundesliga will come on November 4, when they take on Bayern Munich.

Bayern have drawn criticism for lacking spark this season. Although new signing Harry Kane has been in exceptional form, their attack has not always clicked. Their lack of energy and drive was painfully evident in the first half of their 2-2 draw with RB Leipzig on Matchday 6.

#4 Bayer Leverkusen – 16 Points (6 Games)

Leverkusen have already played two of the strongest teams in the division, RB Leipzig & Bayern Munich. They beat Leipzig 3-2 and played out a 2-2 draw with the Bavarians.

#3 Arsenal – 17 Points (7 Games)

Ange Postecoglou’s side have scored 18 league goals this season, two more than third-placed Arsenal. Their superior goals-scored record has allowed them to pull ahead of Arsenal.
